Should Fertility Injections And IUI Be Attempted With Blocked Fallopian Tube?

Hi, I recently turned 44 and a HSG showed that I have one healthy fallopian tube and the other is blocked. Also, I have a low ovary reserves. What is your opinion regarding if I should have the procedure to remove the blockage (told that insurance will not cover this procedure) or attempt infertility injections and IUI (using a sperm donor) with the one fallopian tube? I would like to attempt having my own child before considering the egg donor option. However, I know that I do not have very much time to waste. Thank you.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
At the age of 44, its difficult to achieve pregnancy even with IVF/ICSI. There is no point in going for surgery to remove tubal blockade or even for IUI. You can go straightforwards for IVF/ICSI before its too late.
Wish you good health.
Regards.
